The challenge

Finance and regulation, Brussels

The tenth edition of a conference on fintech and regulation, in the function rooms of a hotel. The stage was lit with magenta and blue LEDs, lovely to look at but hard on faces.

The shoot

I went past the stage before the start, while the velvet armchairs were still waiting for the first panel. That let me see the light before I had speakers in front of me. During the keynotes I frame the speaker between the silhouettes of the audience, who stay soft and give the room its scale. On the panels I wait for the moment someone makes a point, mic in hand, rather than for the pose. Between sessions, the networking in the hotel lounges brings more relaxed pictures. Good event photography often happens there.

What was delivered

  • Full gallery, retouched, online.
  • For an event, I usually allow for at least 100 edited photos for two hours, 225 for four hours and more than 300 for a full day.
  • These are guidelines. Everything can be adapted to your project, and I’m happy to talk it through with you before the shoot.

How the images were used

Speakers share their talk with these photos. They also help make people want to come to the next edition.
